Which files? Know that if you untar as root, the files will be 'owned' by whoever tarred it up on our side. Untar it as a normal user. Reset the permissions of the ones you find too permissive. Then let us know so we can change the distribution. -----Original Message----- From: Leonardo Kenji Shikida [mailto:kenji@intelligenesis.net] Sent: Monday, July 10, 2000 7:15 PM To: zope-dev@zope.org Subject: [Zope-dev] zope and UNIX permissions We tried to install zope using its tar.gz file and it created a lot of files with non-default users and with very permissive permissions on a linux box (like 777 permissions for many files). This is a HUGE security hole. We couldn't install the RPMs files on our webserver. Is there any decent zope source code distribution? thanks in advance K.
